Bay Springs, Mississippi – In a recent development, authorities have apprehended three minors and one adult in connection to a shooting incident intertwined with a burglary case in Bay Springs. The collaboration between Bay Springs police officers and Scott County Sheriff’s Department deputies led to the arrests, marking significant progress in the ongoing investigation.

The incident, which transpired earlier this month, originated from an attempted burglary on Ainsworth Drive in Bay Springs on April 10. Following the attempted break-in, South Central Regional Medical Center in Laurel reported a gunshot victim seeking medical attention. The victim revealed to law enforcement officials that an exchange of gunfire ensued between himself and four individuals who had forcibly entered his residence.

The suspects involved were identified as Le’Sammie Teachey, aged 22, and three minors: Javarius Kincaid, and twin brothers Travion and Davion Keys, all aged 16. Teachey and Kincaid have been charged with aggravated assault, burglary, and shooting into an occupied dwelling. Additionally, the Keys brothers face similar charges, along with unrelated robbery allegations in Scott County.

Bay Springs Police Department Chief Daniel Gilmore emphasized that the arrests mark only the beginning of the investigation, hinting at potential further developments as inquiries progress. Gilmore indicated that the targeted nature of the incident suggests it was an isolated event, with the perpetrators likely acquainted with the victim.

While the investigation remains ongoing, Gilmore reassured the community, stating, “I don’t believe it’s a threat to anybody else in the community.” He also expressed gratitude that the victim is expected to recover fully from his injuries.

Teachey and Kincaid have had their bonds set at $100,000 each by a Jasper County judge. Meanwhile, the Keys brothers await bond determination as they await extradition back to Jasper County to face charges.

As the authorities continue their efforts to ensure justice prevails, the community remains vigilant, united in their commitment to safety and security.
